Self-Drafted Oversized Wool Jacket by Ashely Riley


I'm over the moon with the 2nd jacket I made using my own bodice block made on Petra's course. My first jacket had welt pockets and a storm flap, this one I went for patch pockets, tabs on the shoulders with more of a drop shoulder in an oversized style. I used some wool from my stash and lined it with some purple marocain crepe from ABC Fabric. Love how it turned out and knowing I created the pattern myself is a big achievement. I feel confident in creating my next jacket now!
